[HSRGSS] Chapter 51: Parallel World? Nightmare?
🕑 Added 2025-07-22 00:21:16 +0000 UTCFeixiao had never witnessed such a strange ability before.
Even though it was not the power of a Path, it was ridiculously strong and useful.
Of course, knowing the universe was vast and full of wonders, she did not dwell too much on it.
As long as it was useful, that was more than enough.
"Ms. Jade, please wait a moment." Feixiao said calmly and returned the contract. "I have decided to try one more time. If I still can't resolve this, I will ask the IPC for help."
Honestly, with the conceptual ability she got from Lucian, why rely on the IPC?
Besides, so many resources on Sakin Chadu, if not split half with the IPC, would be enough to fund the Yaoqing's next expedition.
Jade, upon hearing Feixiao's words, was briefly stunned, not expecting her to change her mind at the last minute.
However, she did not show any impatience and smiled calmly instead.
"In that case, I'll wait here for your decision."
Jade wanted to see if this general would truly save resources at the cost of sending her own troops to die needlessly.
Wasting no time, Feixiao stepped directly onto the ship's bow and drew her specially made longbow. At once, she channeled the energy of the Path, stirring up a violent wind around her.
Soon, the wind coalesced into a visible force, forming a single arrow—behind her, a Spiritus known as 'Flying Aureus' manifested, bestowing upon her the power of the Hunt.
"Hit the heads of every Abomination of Abundance I can see."
Muttering calmly, Feixiao swept her gaze across the surface of Sakin Chadu, then released the bowstring.
WHOOSH—!!!
As soon as the glowing arrow was fired, it split into countless tiny arrows, forming a dense rain.
On the ground, as the abominations saw the attack coming from above, they immediately activated their high-tech devices and fired powerful energy beams to counter it.
Unfortunately, their efforts were useless, as the tiny arrows remained untouched, shooting straight for the heads of every one of them.
Wherever they ran, the arrows chased—there was truly no escape.
"Why did our secret weapon stop working?!"
"Are those auto-tracking arrows?! Run!"
"Why can't we block them?! They don't even look that strong, but nothing stops them!"
One by one, the abominations had their heads blown apart by Feixiao's arrows—nowhere near as tough as Hoolay in the game, since the average abomination would die instantly if their head was destroyed.
If their head was only cut off, they could still survive by relying on the blessing of Abundance, and sewing the head back on would allow them to live. But if the brain was destroyed, there was no saving them—unless they possessed an even stronger blessing.
While the abominations fled in panic, another wave of arrows rained down, causing their numerical advantage to vanish instantly.
In just a few moments, Feixiao alone had slaughtered most of the abominations, leaving their forces in total disarray.
'Lucian's ability is so useful...'
Feixiao curled her lips into a satisfied smile before ordering the Yaoqing to launch a full assault.
Meanwhile, Jade, who had witnessed the whole thing, was utterly dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, they had been blocked by high-tech defenses and looked completely helpless, but now, after just a short nap, Feixiao was suddenly dominating the battlefield.
Was the enemy's tech broken, or had Feixiao somehow gotten stronger?
Whatever the case, Jade understood one thing—the deal was over.
At most, she’d only get a small runner's fee.
'What happened? How did things change so suddenly...'
===
Meanwhile, somewhere in the galaxy, a planet that had once been ruined and barren now brimmed with life.
It was none other than Koolur.
Yueyu, who should have died, opened her eyes and found herself in a bedroom.
'Strange, didn't I die...? No one should survive after being hit by the Reignbow Arbiter's Lux Arrow.'
She remembered going to support the Fanghu, and while protecting the Cloudpeer Telescope, she had been caught in the Reignbow Arbiter's Lux Arrow.
By all rights, she should have died—turned to dust.
However, why was she now in this bedroom, alive and well?
As Yueyu was still pondering what had just happened, another surge of memories suddenly flooded her mind—and soon, she remembered everything.
She was now inside Lucian's bedroom in Koolur, and before he vanished, she had even spent a passionate night here with him.
Yueyu felt a bit confused.
She could not tell which was real—or perhaps both were real?
Sighing, Yueyu left the bedroom and stepped outside.
As soon as she stepped outside, she was met with the sight of a bustling city, where countless foxians came and went, all wearing smiles and exuding a peaceful air.
Upon seeing this scene, Yueyu finally confirmed that everything was definitely real.
'Maybe this is the power of some Aeon...'
As Yueyu thought this, she quickly made her way to the Core of Life—the center and headquarters of Koolur.
Upon arrival, she saw an old friend from her second memory—the Black Fox King, Neergul.
Neergul's hair and tail were jet-black and lustrous, her face mature and beautiful—and with her rimless glasses, her entire presence radiated intellect.
"Yueyu? Why are you here? Didn't Feixiao come with you?"
Upon seeing Yueyu, Neergul greeted her warmly.
"Neergul, listen—this world has changed..."
As she spoke, Yueyu's expression grew slightly anxious, and her voice carried a hint of unease.
"I don't think this is the time or world you're familiar with. You can think of it as a parallel world. You, me, and all the foxians here are figures of the past... We... We should have already gone..."
Yueyu paused for a moment, then sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.
'Dammit, I must find Lucian or I go crazy... Only after I find him can I confirm everything...'
Meanwhile, Neergul, after listening to Yueyu's slightly anxious words, nodded solemnly.
"No wonder I and the other foxians suddenly had some kind of nightmare..." Neergul muttered in a daze. "I dreamed that when I was young, I had never met Lord Lucian. I tried to escape with Feixiao, but I wasn't as lucky as her. I was caught by those borisins, had my limbs ripped off, and my throat torn out..."
Hearing this, Yueyu paused for a moment, then sighed again.
"Thankfully, it was just a dream. I'm alive and well now..." Neergul shook her head. "Maybe that's why everyone here, including myself, believes that the world with Lord Lucian is the real one... Honestly, whether this world is a parallel world or not, it doesn't matter."
Yueyu quickly thought of Lucian, then gave a gentle nod in agreement.
Truthfully, she couldn't lie to herself—a world with Lucian was, without a doubt, the better one.
If she had to choose between a world where she, her knights, and the foxians of Koolur tragically perished, and one where everyone survived and lived happily, she would choose the latter without hesitation.
"In that case, I'll go find him. Before he left, he gave me some coordinates."
With that, Yueyu said goodbye to Neergul and immediately boarded a spaceship, setting out for the coordinates of Jarilo-VI.
===
At the same time, the Yaoqing finally achieved a great victory and succeeded in securing Sakin Chadu.
Leaving the post-war matters to Jiaoqiu, Feixiao, desperate to figure out what everything she and Lucian had experienced really meant, was planning to head for a certain set of coordinates she remembered.
